...composition. Moreover, it has been found that different bacterial species can live synergistically within a single biofilm and can signal to each other using quorum sensing molecules, such as autoinducers (Figure 6). These bacterial niches allow interspecies cooperation that is similar to intercellular communication in multicellular organisms. Figure 6 Chemical signalling...
